Objectives

3. For Part B, ask two students to play the roles of Amy and Amy's cousin. Ask them to read the conversation aloud. In stronger classes, the student playing the role of Amy's cousin should be able to complete the conversation unprompted. Less able students should be encouraged to ask for help from their classmates instead of looking at their books.

2. Explain to students that the colours of a rainbow always appear in the order shown in the picture on page 21. Ask them to write the colours in the blanks in Part A. This is a simple exercise and students can work on their own. Less able students may need help with 'indigo' and 'violet'. Explain that 'indigo' (purplish-blue) is a word we rarely use, except when talking about rainbows. 'Violet' is like purple.

1. Ask students to raise their hands if they have ever seen a rainbow. Ask students to tell you when a rainbow occurs (when there is both rain and sunshine and when the sun is low in the sky).
